The pouch 16 is then positioned under the scrotum with the arcuaterecess 40 positioned in front of the scrotum and under the penis, asshown in FIG. 4. One or more inserts 42 may be placed into the pouch 16until the pouch 16 fits snugly around the scrotum without causingdiscomfort to the wearer. The fasteners 38 a,b of the pouch 16 are thenextended upwards and connected to the front of the connecting surface 28of the waist belt 12 with tension in the fasteners 38 a,b applying anupward and lateral pressure to the scrotum.

The scrotal restraint strap 18 is then donned by placing the centralband 46 under the scrotum with the two short tabs 48 a,b oriented belowthe two long tabs 50 a,b, as shown in FIG. 5. The two short tabs 48 a,bare wrapped around the front of the pouch 16 and connected together viathe fastener 52 such that the two short tabs 48 a,b overlay the frontcentral and front upper portions of the scrotum. The two long tabs 50a,b are extended upwards and connected to the connecting surface 28 ofthe waist belt 12 via the fasteners 54 a,b with tension in long tabs 50a,b applying an upward pressure to the pouch 16 and the scrotum. Thelong tabs 50 a,b may need to be twisted inward or outward one quarter ofa turn to securely connect the fasteners 54 a,b to the waist belt 12.

The penis sheath 20 is then prepared for fitting onto the penis. Thepenis is inserted into the interior chamber 60 of the elongated tube 58through its open base until the flange 64 contacts the groin, as shownin FIG. 6. If the seal 62 (FIG. 2) near the open base is too tight onthe penis, the seal 62 may need to be modified with the penis removedfrom the penis sheath 20, wherein thin widths of the narrow end of thecone shape of the seal 62 are incremently cut and removed from the seal62 until its inner circumference fits snugly around the base of thepenis. It is recommended that a width of no more than ⅛^(th) of an inchis removed at once because the seal 62 cannot be narrowed once it iswidened. This fitting process needs to be completed only once.

The nozzle 66 at the end of the penis sheath 20 may be opened forremoving extra air from the interior chamber 60 or for adding additionallubrication to the interior chamber once the penis sheath 20 is donned.The nozzle 66 may also be connected to a urine bag, as described below.

The groin bracer 22 is then placed over the penis sheath 20 with the tab70 extending upwards and with the penis and the elongated tube 58inserted through the central hole 74 until the bracer flange 68 contactsthe flange 64 at the base of the penis sheath 20, as shown in FIG. 7.The flanges 64, 68 may then be connected together via fasteners. The tab70 is inserted into the overlapping end portions of the waist belt 12and the fastener 76 is connected to the connecting surface 28 of thewaist belt 12 for keeping the groin bracer 22 upright and centered overthe penis sheath 20. The tension straps 72 a,b are extended around thepouch 16, through the space between the legs, and towards the middle ofthe buttocks support belt 14 and are connected to the buttocks supportbelt 14 via the fasteners 32 a,b (as best shown in FIG. 8) with tensionin the tension straps 72 a,b holding the base of the penis sheath 20against the body.

The sheath covering 24 is then placed over the penis sheath 20 and thepouch 16 with the penis sheath 20 and the penis pointing in the upwardsor downwards orientation, as shown in FIG. 9. The upper fastener 78 isconnected to the connecting surface 28 of the waist belt 12 and thelower fastener 80 is connected to the middle of the buttocks supportbelt 14 with the sheath covering 24 extending between the legs and withtension in the fasteners 78, 80 and the sheath covering 24 keeping thesheath covering 24 snug against the penis sheath 20 and the pouch 16.

The optional protective cup may then be placed over the sheath covering24. Portions of the fastener 82 on the outer surface of the sheathcovering 24 adhere to a complementary fastener on the inner surface ofthe optional protective cup, thus holding the cup in position over thesheath covering 24.

It will be understood that the above-described components of the genitalsupport system 10 may be assembled or donned in a different order fromthe order described herein without departing from the scope of thepresent invention.

The above-described genital support system 10 provides numerousadvantages over conventional jockstraps. For example, the genitalsupport system 10 improves comfort and protection of the wearer'sgenitals. The genital support system 10 also allows the wearer tourinate while it is worn. In addition, the genital support system 10accommodates various sized body parts by allowing the components to beconnected to supporting components at virtually any location andprovides many hygiene benefits.

Specifically, the penis sheath 20 and the pouch 16 hold the wearer'spenis and scrotum separately, as best shown in FIG. 6. This providesadditional protection to each and allows the penis to point in anupwards or a downwards orientation according to the wearer's preference.The recesses 40, 44 of the pouch 16 and the insert 42 cradle the peniswhen it is in the downwards orientation, allowing the penis to hang downcomfortably over the front of the pouch 16. With the penis heldseparately, the pouch 16 may more closely hold and restrain the scrotum.Holding the penis and scrotum independently thus maximizes comfort forthe wearer and prevents the genitals from shifting to an unsafeorientation during physical activity.

The penis sheath 20 also allows the wearer to urinate while wearing thegenital support system 10. The nozzle 66 at the end of the penis sheath20 may be opened so that the wearer can urinate into a toilet or aurinal. The nozzle may also be connected to an optional urine bag, whichcollects and retains the wearer's urine and may be removed or emptiedwhen convenient for the wearer, thus providing a mess-free andself-contained urine collecting solution for an incontinent wearer. Thisalso allows a wearer to urinate during activities that do not allow thewearer to unsuit such as during a race, during an underwater drysuitdive, or while wearing a hazardous materials suit.

In addition, individual components of the genital support system 10 maybe fitted to different sized body parts. For example, the connectingsurface 28 of the waist belt 12 allows other components to be connectedat virtually any location thereon, which allows the wearer to set anappropriate tension and fit to each component. In addition, the waistbelt extender(s) 30 allows the waist belt 12 to accommodate waists of 30inches in circumference or greater, and the buttocks support beltextender(s) 34 allows the buttocks support belt 14 to accommodatevirtually any buttocks size. The pouch 16 may be fitted to virtually anyscrotum size by adding one or more inserts 42 therein. Also, the penissheath 20 may accommodate virtually any penis size when the seal 62 atthe base of the elongated tube 58 of the penis sheath 20 is modifieduntil it fits snugly around the base of the penis, as described above.

Moreover, the genital support system 10 provides many hygiene benefits.For example, the seal 62 at the base of the penis sheath 20 prevents anyurine from migrating to other parts of the genital support system 10. Inaddition, the waist belt 12, the buttocks support belt 14, the pouch 16,the penis sheath 20, the scrotal restraint strap 18, the penis sheath20, the urine bag, the groin bracer 22, and the sheath covering 24 maybe disconnected from each other for being cleaned as needed.
